Murakami my love

It finally arrived three weeks ago!

It's almost a thousand pages and I've been delaying reading it so I can make it...last. Haha! I actually ordered it with Patti Smith's Just Kids and I decided to read Just Kids first. That book is phenomenal. Well-written. Nostalgic. I am not in any way an artist but I was deeply moved by the book. I guess it's because I have a lot of artist friends and it made me happy just to have an insight on what's going on in their minds and heart.

I am planning to start reading Murakami this weekend. I read on a Twitter feed that there are mixed reviews about the book. I decided not to read any of the reviews yet and just develop my own once I'm done reading.

Fall/Winter Drink in Starbuck's

Every year, one of the things I look forward to during fall and winter is the Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate from Starbuck's. I get about four months to enjoy this delicious drink. I introduced my eight-year old nephew to this drink last year and it became an instant hit! Oh by the way, do not confuse this to their Salted Caramel Mocha because the latter is caffeinated. More than a month after my drink appeared in the menu, I found this in the holiday gift ideas section in Walmart:

Aaacckk! This made me so happy! I bring this with me all the time now so I can enjoy it at home AND at work! There, I'm sharing with you my secret because this drink is not to be missed! Go try it now!
